Summary
Gloom and doom. Since the dawn of time, man has speculated about how the world might end. With clear language that makes the cutting-edge science of quarks, neutrinos, wormholes, and metaverses accessible to the layman, Australia's Professor Paul Davies treats readers to a wide range of conjectures about the ultimate fate of the universe. Perhaps if we dwell on one of them long enough, it will happen. Wonderfully morbid to the core. Index.
